Another very interesting thing is the language purism Latvian linguist advocate.. They invest so many new and, according to many Latvians, ridiculous words every year.. For instance an almost literal translation of "hotdog" was made last year or so. Suņdesainis is the word for it now (suns = dog, desa = sausage).. Those of you who haven't got English as your native language will understand how ridiculous it would be if anyone did that to your own languages!
